Publish the LDROBOT LD14P, Xiaomi LDS02RR, or 3irobotix Delta-2A to a ROS 2 /scan topic straight from a Raspberry Pi 5 — no microcontroller, and ROS 2 runs in a container. A C++ LaserScan driver built on kaiaai/LDS.
A concise summary of my March 2026 talk to the Dallas Personal Robotics Group on the Maker's Pet ROS 2 robot kit: hardware, software architecture, LiDAR notes, and the upcoming app platform.
Maker’s Pet Arduino ROS2 robot kit now supports ROS2 Jazzy (beta). Please feel free to try out the new Docker image. If you notice any problems, please post your issue in the support forum.
Let’s view ROS2 robot telemetry, only this time let’s use Foxglove.dev instead of ROS2 RViz. Foxglove runs outside of ROS2. For example, I run Foxglove on my Windows PC in a browser, while my ROS2 runs inside a Docker container…
Here is my video instructions series with step-by-step explanations “How to Build an Arduino/ROS2 Self-driving Robot”. Here is what the robot can do – once the build is complete: Optionally, you can write your own Python or C++ code to…
Kaia.ai firmware works with a wide variety of ESP32 boards, supports robots of different sizes, with various Lidars, motors, motor drivers and motor encoders – all thanks to a configuration file where you can specify your GPIO assignments. Configuring Kaia.ai…
Here are the most up-to-date and the most complete instructions to build, set up, bring up and operate Maker’s Pet BLD-120MM-PACK robot build pack with BDC-30P driver board. Finished Self-Driving Robot Demo As always, everything is open source. Robot Assembly…
LDROBOT LD14P is a low-cost laser distance sensor. We have not yet evaluated its performance, but eyeballing this sensor’s output under indoor conditions makes us believe this sensor may have a reasonable performance. LDS Specifications According to LDROBOT LD14P specifications:…
On 2/27/2024 I had the pleasure of giving an invited technical talk for the ROS Embedded Working Group. Please find the YouTube talk recording here. I discussed the REMAKE.AI home robot open-source architecture, its integration with eProsima micro-ROS including the…
